from using, offering for use, or arranging for the use of a motor 
vehicle or rail vehicle (except a tank truck, rail tank car, or cargo

devices, drugs, food, or food additives if the vehicle is used to

required by section 5709 of this title, the Secretary of Transportation 
shall publish in the Federal Register a list of nonfood products the 
Secretary decides would make cosmetics, devices, drugs, food, or food 
additives unsafe to humans or animals because of transportation of the 
nonfood products in a motor vehicle or rail vehicle used to transport 
cosmetics, devices, drugs, food, or food additives. The Secretary may 
amend the list periodically by publication in the Federal Register.
    (2) The list published under paragraph (1) of this subsection may 
not include cardboard, pallets, beverage containers, and other food 
packaging except to the extent the Secretary decides that the 
transportation of cardboard, pallets, beverage containers, or other food 
packaging in a motor vehicle or rail vehicle used to transport 
cosmetics, devices, drugs, food, or food additives would make the 
cosmetics, devices, drugs, food, or food additives unsafe to humans or 
animals.
